That's dumb, why would someone say it's 2015 eight years before it happens?

Sprint is in because it's 1875.

CSGO should add sprint, their fans are really asking for it!

I really don't. basic analogies too cromulatated for me's sub-caveman think-doer!
Exactly, the Reconstruction Era wasn't about rebuilding after the Civil War, it was about adding Sprint to First Person Shooters.
No they aren't.

What the fuck this thread.
When is the sprint discussion going to end? Its not going to change, no matter how much you talk about it.
Discussing something that MIGHT CHANGE, like motion tracker in high level play, would probably be much more useful and interesting.

Ok confesssion time.
I'm one of those out there wierdos who like sprint and (gasp) the jet pack. But if the base movement is fast enough, say 125% faster than Halo 3's base speed, then I stop noticing and just play.
Motion tracker: either have it or don't I hate re-adapting from match to match. And only if the tracker is for closer in players. Making the range a greater distance only makes me go "where the fuck is that now!?" and provides too much noise in the data you have to mentally process. If they are not in range of my gun I can't be caring.

125% faster than Halo 3's base speed is reeeeeeeeeaaaaaally fast.
So...no one knew about it, except for the filthy casuals who prefer sprint??
I went to see if I could find a game of Halo 3 on MCC, realized I don't have Gold anymore, and subsequently realized I don't care. I didn't use a single second of the free month I got, because I had no intention of playing MCC until it worked. Guess I won't be playing many xbox games anytime soon.

Well, I'm gonna be the guy that no one agrees with because I actually like sprint and want it in my Halo. When I spawn and need to get back to a power weapon or flank a team I want that higher than normal movement to get me back to the action. Yes I'm sacrificing the ability to shoot so I can traverse the map quicker, it's a choice we make.
If I run away with sprint you can chase me down just as much as you could if we didn't have sprint. I can go behind a corner and bounce a nade in either scenario except when sprints involved it's a faster process of movements. And I like that frankly. I want to be able to dash off, get to that sword or sniper faster while giving up the ability to return fire on the enemy player covering it. It gives another set of options to the player.
Today even, I finished one player off with a BR shot and began reloading while his teammate surprised me as he came up a lift. I simply tapped sprint, rushed forward while also canceling my reload and melee'd his shield away so I could finish him with another BR shot. I used sprint to close the distance and stop the reload so I could fire that final headshot. And it's little things like that which make it so useful and dynamic to me.
I know I'm preaching to the wrong choir and no one is gonna agree with the guy that wants to run up and melee people but hey I enjoy a lot of Halo too.
And this is what I hate seeing. I am a filthy casual who must've came from COD because who else but those with awful taste would like to use a sprint button. I've been hoping for sprint since trailers for H3 came out. But totally casual man. I'm totally gonna stop playing after the first few weeks. Jeez guys it's not armor lock.
And hell I met a guy who loved the shit outta armor lock and man he was annoying good with it too. But that dude played Halo with me almost every day until Reach died off. I hated his playstyle with a passion but I still listened to his opinion. Even if he was Satan himself with that armor lock.

Halo 3 felt pokey after Halo 2. I just know customs that bumped up the speed a little bit felt just right. 110% ??

EDIT: I read it wrong.
H3 at 125%/110% is fine.
H3 at 125%/110% is fine.
3 at 110 completely transforms the game and makes it feel soooo much better.
A step up from 0/10 is only 1/10 man.
I hopped on MCC earlier though, out of 6 games: 3 had uneven teams when possibilities were even. 2 ended early. 1 had a start of 7 on 6 in flag. Every game had quitters. Glad these fixes are coming through.
Soon

This is the umpteenth week in a row with no mention of that game. Embarassing. But hey, check out #Idarb!
I was joking, but that is completely how most of these dweebs see people who have a differing opinion.
I just find it hilarious that he thinks the people filling out that survey are people who are casual and going to leave the game after a week or two. The people who are going to do that sure as hell aren't seeking out online surveys to fill out, give me a break.
I don't get it, you have a weekly video series for your fans, yet you don't even mention your most recent product once. Don't bring them up to speed about what you are doing to fix it, ETA, complications, etc.
343/MS PR is just awful. If it's not good news, we'll just not mention it.

Well...thank you for staying open minded. And yeah if they took the time to play the beta and actually perform a survey they may give it more than two weeks. I feel like the newer things do add to the game but I don't call those who don't like those things old school tryhards or whatever buzzterm is hip.
Probably because they literally have no idea when it's going to be fixed, lol. After missing the beta date, the last thing they need to do is promise something again and miss the date.

If the survey was just questions that gave only Yes or No answers like:
"Do you like smart scope"
"Do you like sprint"
"Do you like thruster" etc etc
343 would learn NOTHING of value for game production. Oh, 60% of fans like smart scope, well why don't the other 40% not like it? The point of the survery was to provide insight into the mechanics and changes around the mechanics. "I want sprint/I don't want sprint in Halo" doesn't help when the questions can dig deeper and provide more understanding into the answers of the players. Sure 343 touting the 11% doesn't tell the whole story in this case, but to think they were gonna put effort, time and money into a feedback survey filled with yes or no answers when their duty is to provide a AAA gaming experience is absurd.

5 days from the MCC spending a financial quarter in a shameful condition.
92 days where my friends and I can't play together without someone getting disconnected, game rebooting or their console rebooting. I have literally crocheted while waiting ALONE to find matchmaking sesions.
Pat on the back Microsoft, tell me all about your next product, while I spent 460.00 so I could look on helplesly on your current product spinning in circles. So pretty! So mesmerizing! So hypnotic.....I'm falling into a stupor...being fooled into pre-ordering Halo Call of Duty 5...

Legit shook at results.
You mean making. The game isn't even out yet, it's at least 8 months away and we've barely scratched the surface of the total package.

The portion they showed of the game was the arena portion of the game. That portion was not great. And that is what will be played at the highest level. They can't really add much else to make it better.
